Rating: 4/5midrange workhorse CPU

Pros: works great in blade servers or similar applications. The price is not bad (even though it is actually just a bit above MSRP) given the capabilities - it hits the sweetspot of price/performance pretty well. Anything less in cost drops a lot of performance, anything more in performance substantially raises the cost.

The 1231v3 is only a couple of dollars more and has slightly better specs. If you aren't trying to maintain a homogeneous lab setup, it is something to consider.

Produces an acceptable amount of heat, even when packed quite densely.

Cons: lower power consumption would be nice, but it is not really that high as it is.

Rating: 5/5Great i7 Alternative

Pros: This is a good alternative to an i7 if you want to get one on the cheap. No issues after about a month. Rock solid and fast, fast, fast.

Cons: Had to flash the motherboard to get it past the boot screen. Probably not related to the Xeon.No video but if you're a gamer you know what you need.If you're not a gamer buy a cheap video card and you're still saving money.

Rating: 5/5Great Performer

Pros: This is an Excellent chip. I have been an AMD Fanboy for years but after much research I decided to jump ship and switch platforms. I am very happy I did. This chip blows the AMD FX-8350 out of the water. Even on old games like Civilization 4 BTS, there is a clear difference in performance. It also runs 45W lighter which is very nice.

If you have no interest in overclocking then I think this chip is worth the money. It is classified as a Server CPU but don't let that put you off if you are a beginer builder. It can but put into any LGA1150 motherboard and you can use regular RAM.

Rating: 5/5Works in H81 Motherboard

Pros: Works in low cost H81 motherboard.Probably uses less watts and has lower temps than i7 as it is a server chip.intel decided to round the edges of the stock heatsink fan which previous design sliced and diced my fingers

Cons: didn't buy one with integrated graphics.not unlocked as far as I can tell.only Turbos 4 cores to 3.5 GHz on my MSI H81M-P33.can only change memory timings- running DD3 2133 CL 9 at 1600 CL 7.insulation of wires for the included heatsink fan tore easily when snagged/inserted into the plastic wire guides.

Other Thoughts: bought this for gaming; CPU frame times in BF3 64 player large maps average 16 ms.@ 76 F room temp idles 45 C. under full load 83 C with stock heat sink, TDP 55W.

Rating: 5/5Intel Xeon E3 1230 Haswell 3.3Hz

Pros: Lower Cost i7 without graphicsMinor differences compared to 4770Can be used for gaming and video editingdepending on motherboard can be overclockedcan unpark the coresstableworkhorsecoolerless watts usagehyperthreadingexcellent value per dollar spentnot a consumer product - business oriented

Cons: Xeon cannot do everything that an i7 can - so it depends on what you need or don't needXeon is not unlockedNot compatible with all 1150 motherboards - researchNo integrated graphicsnot promoted for consumer usenot oriented for consumer use

Other Thoughts: If you do your research - this processor will work for you, Get the right case, motherboard, cooling system, ram etc.In technology there is always something new - get what you need at the right price. You don't need overkill. With this processor, you have something for now - raw strength and something for the future - hyperthreading.

Rating: 5/5Excellent processor

Pros: This processor is great for gaming! But it really shines for video rendering, and workstation tasks, since it is after all, a Xeon. For those of you who want a 4770k without the ability to overclock, or don't plan to overclock, with no integrated graphics card, for $100 cheaper, buy this immediately.

I saw my performance jump up in games by 50fps. But the real time it shines is when i'm streaming. When i'm streaming i've noticed gains of up to 70%.

Is it great for gaming? Absolutely. Is it great for workstation tasks? absolutely. Would I buy this again? You're darn right i would!

Cons: The only thing I can think of, would be the lack of overclocking power. Though you should know that since it's a Xeon. So I can't dock an egg for something i already knew i wasn't going to be able to do.

Other Thoughts: This thing is just phenomenal. I can't wait to unlock it's full potential when i upgrade to a GTX 780Ti.

Other Thoughts: It's probably not for gaming or overclocking. I use it on a basic Asus B85M motherboard. I would go with their CSM line, but really any 1150 mobo will do unless you're really pushing the limits. I will probably put this in my next gaming rig. It's cheaper than a 4770 with all the benefits. Might wait for DDR4 get the next version of this.

Rating: 5/5The perfect CPU for your ESXi home lab

Pros: I purchased this CPU with the intention of using it in my ESXi host in my home lab. I was a little hesitant at first but this has not disappointed at all! I am running 13 virtual machines including a veeam backup server in my virtual environment. Even when backing up replicas this thing doesn't break a sweat doing anything at all. This is an absolute steal for the performance you get out of it!
